In September 2001 it was exported to New Zealand where it was registered ZK-JNG and operated by Eagle Airways for ANZ. In March 2002 it was exported to Australia where it was re-registered VH-RUE to Hawker Pacific, Australian Beech Agents, on 27 March 2002.

Bacchus Marsh aerodrome looking south-east toward Corio Bay. This is a long-established gliding centre, and if you look closely you can see a glider and tug lined up on the grass glider strip alongside the main 01/19, near the displaced threshold on the sealed strip. Despite some recent rain, everything is very brown and dry!

Very basic cockpit on this diminutive and aptly-named Bébé (Baby), which was one of the first modern homebuilts in Victoria. Construction started in the late 1960s and the aircraft was registered on 5 April 1974. It's powered by a converted industrial, single mag VW and currently resides at Bendigo in the hands of the builder's son.

This historic Huey saw action with 9 Squadron RAAF at the battle of Long Tan during the war in Vietnam. Allocated the USAF serial 63-13588, but delivered new to the RAAF on 12 Dec 1964 (incidentally, just a couple of weeks before I was born). Based at Vung Tau from mid-1966. Returned to Australia in April 1968 and used in the SAR role with 5 Squadron until retired in June 1984. Allocated to the School of Radio at RAAF Laverton until 1993, then transferred to the RAAF Museum and restored 2000-02.
